you see this already in europe. the chinese are already beginning to think about the fact they're one-shot policy will lead to them having a much older population soon with many fewer children. so immigration then becomes, you know, another way that they can continue the economic vitality of their country. so to me immigration and vitality are closely linked. i think that's true for many business people in the united states. i think truse for many people in the universities. not too sure about politicians. >> reminding people that -- at the beginning of the story of america is story of entrepreneurship and the story of entrepreneurship is the story of immigration. some of the iconic nation, at&t were founded by immigrants. not recent tech phenomenon, history for a long period of time. i believe the reason is so controversial problem and so sensitive and emotional is the debate around immigration really is a debate around illegal immigration and there needs to be more focus on legal immigration and thinking less abou

missiles in euro europe, suddenly they are better they are withthan american missiles in europe. why? because if we can use them in retaliation to some other thing we could hit the soviet union by missiles that did not originate on the american homeland. now, would they then risk virtual annihilation by attacking the u.s.? no. that was the reverse of what we would have faced if they had used the i.n.f. missiles to attack our allies in europe. we would be faced without the i. i.n.f. in europe to using our intercontinental and if effect committing suicide. so, everything was reversed by the deployment. i think what rick has said about the deployment is absolutely right. we had to deploy in order to show the soviets that their real interest was zero. now, of course, in reykjavik we were very close to agreeing and we have had agreed if gorbachev had not put conditions on 100 outside europe. whether we ever would have deployed 100 in alaska i doubt. but the problem from the russian point of view was that gorbachev also wanted to improve relations with china and japan. and with 100 i.n
